If you are a Grade 9 Referee and are looking to upgrade to a Grade 8, you must:

• Be 14 years old
• Take the Grade 8 Entry Level Referee Course in full – to do this go on-line and sign up and pay for the grade 8 referee course fee and USSF registration fee
• Pass the Grade 8 Entry Level Referee Course

If you have any questions, please contact Dave Jenkins, New Jersey State Youth Referee Administrator at njsyra@optonline.net.

If you display a yellow or red card for misconduct during your game, you must do the paperwork!

The paperwork is as much a part of the game as calling fouls. Team, coach, and player discipline cannot be done properly unless you turn in ALL misconduct reports promptly and correctly.
